Heart of the CaribooChilcotin More Stoires Worth Keeping Author:edited by Diana Wilson This anthology continues the story of the Cariboo Chilcotin, a harshly beautiful and remote region in B.C. s north. From the days of the gold rush through to modern times, these stories capture the spirit of a place whose beauty and wildness have inspired its people throughout its history. Legendary tales include a husband s promise to his dyi... more »ng wife that he will not let her body languish in what to her is an alien, inhospitable land. How the theft of a nugget pin in Barkerville leads to a murderer s capture. The ill-conceived plan to use camels on the Cariboo Road. Native traditions and skills handed down through generations. The wild and woolly early years of the Cariboo stampedes. A sasquatch-sized bear that inadvertently becomes a cash cow for one hunting guide. These accounts of Cariboo Chilcotin life are as diverse as they are fascinating: some nostalgic, some deeply moving, and some that will tickle the funny bone in a most agreeable way.
